Synopsis

Josh, arriving home from work, is confronted by his partner Jenny, who is complaining about a task left undone. As a consequence of the verbal diatribe that Josh is faced with, he is catapulted into Déjà Vu and is reminded of those times in his past where others have confronted him, making him feel useless. But who will have the last laugh?

Director's Notes

Interruptions originated as an idea, through OTTfilms association with the Quick Flick filmmaking network. Quick Flick seeks to give filmmakers around the world the opportunity to show their work in many major cities across the globe. A theme is set each month and those films submitted for consideration for the coming month's event, must relate in some way to that theme. In May of 2006, at the monthly London screening event, Déjà Vu was announced as being the theme for the June screening event.

We had four weeks in which to produce a film that we hoped would be shown in cities such New York and Rio de Janeiro. This was certainly a challenge but one that would prove to be very enjoyable.

 
 

The script was written by Leilani Holmes: actress and all round good egg. In order to incorporate the idea of Déjà Vu, Lani decided upon of a man who comes home from a long day at work only to be confronted by his girlfriend. This triggers a series of Déjà Vu moments.

The lead, Josh, would be played by Steve Mould; recruited through Shooting People. As well as being an actor, Steve is a stand-up comedian who has seen some success on the comedy circuit. Ingrid Evans, another Shooting People recruit, would play Josh's mother. JC Bateman and Leilani (both OTTfilms members) would round up the cast. The crew was made up entirely of OTT members: Heather Manson providing makeup, KC Thiruchelvam our resident soundman, Hugh Macdonald taking stills and Marc Knapton making the sandwiches. Camerawork was provided by Pete Wallington and Lutfi Hady.

 
 

Everybody put in a magnificent amount of effort, allowing us to finish ahead of schedule. The film was submitted successfully for Quick Flick consideration and it was indeed screened to the filmmaking world in June of 2006.
